more to come

You have some pretty good ideas there Matt. Some of them may come true in the near future.

I would love to see a new Lightning but I think from what I hear Ford has passed that torch to Roush and Saleen, although I am with you on seeing a new one. :nice:

I think the Ford I would love to see the most right now is an FPV Falcon GT-P or F6 Typhoon over here.

Thanks, Andy. Out of all those, I really just wanna see a Crown Victoria that can haul, and kick some major hiney instead of our current 240 hp wonder

as promised, here's the more to come.



Ford Ranger

Ford Ranger XL

the current i-4 with a bit of a power boost..maybe up to 135? 140?

Ranger XLT

3.0L V6 and a Higher output version of the 4.0l..maybe 225 hp?

Ranger Lariat/FX4

4.6l V8 292 hp 300 tq.

5spd Manual on all mentioned above. and an option 4, 5, or 6spd Auto (4 on the 4, 5 on the 3.0l and 4.0l, 6 on the 4.6)


Ford Galaxie

Galaxie LX - 3.5l V6 5spd Manual-5spd Auto

Galaxie GT - 5.4l V8 6spd Manual - 6spd Auto

SVT Galaxie - S/C 4.6l V8 - 6spd Manual / CVT

Comes in Sedan, Vert, Coupe. With AWD, and RWD.

That Lightning would be cool, but I wanna SuperCrew, not RegularCab.

If they could sell that SVT Focus for around $28k I would rock it. Especially if I had $28k to spend.

The Crown Vic idea won't work. Mercury already tried that idea and it didn't work.

-An SVT Fusion would be nice. Throw in DI from Mazda and you will gain even more power. MB add Direct injection to a N/A V6 and gained 20 crank hp.

- Instead of your Focus ideas, all Ford has to do is simply bring the Euro Focus to the US. The ST model gets great reviews in Europe.

-I don't see a AWD Mustang, especially in the "R". It will be way too HEAVY.

-I'd love to see the SVT Adrenaline instead of the Lightening. That was a really great vehicle.

-The Ranger needs to be scrapped. It's old and has been left to whither. Get rid of it!
